With the MLB about to start on Thursday, it has been hard to contain my excitement for the return of my favorite sport. But every time I mention it, I get the same few reactions. “Baseball is boring.” “It’s so slow.” “Nothing ever happens.” Or “it takes forever.” This article is my response to those

I’m sure whoever once said that the MLB season is a marathon, not a sprint had good intentions. But that person clearly never witnessed the mayhem that has been the last two weeks of baseball. From two 105+ win teams racing to avoid a winner-takes-all wild card game to the enticing potential for a five-way

Depending on your rooting interests, this is either the most exciting or stressful time of the baseball season. If your team is a bottom feeder or can already see the X next to their name, you can sit back and watch the chaos unfold. Everyone else will spend the next month biting their nails and

There has arguably never been a more relieving Opening Day than 2021. After the longest year of almost everyone’s life, things are finally starting to get closer to normal again.

Lost in the shuffle of all the major events in the sports world that have happened recently, this year’s MLB offseason has been one of the craziest in recent memory. Many teams, using the pandemic as an excuse to cut spending, traded away star players who were on expiring contracts, and contenders loaded up for

Whether it’s to relive glory days on the court, pitch or gridiron, or it’s to live vicariously through others, sports fans love to wear the jersey of their favorite team or athlete. A lot goes into a good jersey, but I think we can all agree the two main ingredients are the design (the team

It’s the question all baseball fans are asking: Can a 60-game season with an expanded postseason really show us who the best team in baseball is? It’s a complicated question, and I don’t believe the answer is a clear yes or no. The decision by MLB to expand the postseason to eight teams per league

I’m in a weird position this fall. Well, before I continue, I should warn you all I am one of the “greedy New England swine” as described by Connor Mulvena in his recent piece depicting the horrors of being a New York sports fan. My beloved Boston Red Sox saw an impressive three-year run end

As my colleague Toby Hoonhout eloquently stated in yesterday’s Sports Authority, “it’s good to be back.” Yesterday, my colleague proceeded to recap what has been a wild and entertaining summer of sports, highlighted of course by the World Cup and also by big names such as LeBron James and Tiger Woods, but in the backdrop
